Climate Crisis: An Educational Forum on Carbon Pricing | Berkeley

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Learn about the many variables of using carbon pricing as a means to help solve the climate crisis. How are the several systems different? What has been tried? On November 2, five panelists will discuss elements of carbon pricing and then open it for questions and discussion.

Efforts to put a price on carbon pollution are underway at the state and national level. How can carbon pricing help solve the climate crisis? You’ll learn about proposals such as a carbon tax, cap and trade and other pricing mechanisms that make polluters pay for their greenhouse gas emissions. Get informed and inspired about this practical, non-partisan solution to the climate crisis.
